I can't do it - I just can't play alliance.

[shaeman]

No matter what class no matter what starting area, no matter what, I can't seem to level an alliance character.

I've got a warrior to 22 and that's my highest. Even the lure of getting to 70 and being able to play with friends on the alliance side isn't enough. I just can't get over the urge to kill alliance whenever I see one. (And I don't even play on pvp servers).

Does anyone else encounter this factionitis?

Does anyone else encounter this factionitis?

Yes, but in the opposite direction!

I've tried many horde characters, and even teams over the years, but the models are all so damn ugly that I've never gotten over level 30 or so

Yep, I just finished leveling a 1x pally, 5x shaman group to 20 on my old alliance server. I just rerolled the pally shaman group on my horde server tonight and ditched the alliance toons. I love horde side and just can't stand all the dumb gnomes. hehe Anyways, it will actually work out better for me since I have 5 level 70 horde chars to support them and 12k gold to spend on them. :thumbup:

Same here, can't play horde. So damn ugly... Get your back straight stupid troll!

On the other hand, I can't play draenei neither. Just too ugly. Bloodelve on the other hand might be do-able now I think of it.

Heh - yeah, I know what you mean. I've got a a couple of horde chars about 20, but that's it. I think my problem stems from starting with Ally, so it's a nice comfy feeling knowing where stuff is and having the backup of other chars and friends made on the ally side.

Not tried it with a 5box crew yet - maybe that will make a difference.

Yeah, I have found it difficult to play horde, feel like I'm constantly slouching (troll), feeling the urge to graze (tauren), making sure I'm not losing pieces of my body (undead), unsure of my gender (b-elf), or just really badly in need of a shave (orc).

And what's wrong with gnomes?!? They are freakin hilarious. They crack me up whenever I play them. Draenei look awesome, n-elves are fine (except the huge freakin ears), and humans are a bit.. awkward but they are far better than their counterparts.

Agreed! /chicken from a Gnome gets me every time

[Xar]

Same here, can't get into horde, lol. I've tried a number of times.

Btw, Draenei females are the best!

[Freakinred]

My original character is now a shelved 70 Horde, and my current "main" is a 70 Alliance on a different server. I'm Multiboxing my various teams on the Alliance server.

I'm hit or miss on it. I liked Horde for the people (If anyone ever wants to play on a server with a great community, I reccomend the Venture Co.). But the 75% chance of winning AV as Alliance in the final bracket is a strong enough incentive to keep me Alliance, lol.

Still though... I troll the forums for my old server a lot more than my new server. I miss the community a lot.

I found it easy to level horde but switched to alliance and am having a hard time leveling. Mainly because I have no idea where I am and where i need to go. One thing good about Horde is Ragefire Chasm dungeon. You can go in there at level 8 (not recommended until at least level 10, though) and from there it is pretty much grinding instances and taking a break to do some quests. Before you know it you are in Wailing Caverns then in SFK and turning blue. I can't wait to learn my way around alliance!! omg how frustrating!

"Btw, Draenei females are the best!" <-- this is TRUE! I love the cuteness of them and how they cast spells. The best thing I like is that I can create a Draenei Pally and Shamans. No need to use different races.
